a love of decades

Here i stand,
A believer of the now,
The call to be better,
Be more,
But all the same,
You have me aching for the past,
But to move forward with it,
You have me wanting to let go,
But hold on all the more,
To the moments that I,
To the places that we had,
To the feelings that we felt,
And to the person,
That was you,
An extraordinary boy,
That had a certain way about him,
That has held on for yours,
But won’t be forgotten for decades,
And I hope that one day,
I can be that great of a love to someone,
And I hope I was the same to you.
